An accident on Highway 243 on the curve just north of Mountain Center
sent two motorcyclists to the hospital this last weekend. Johnathon
Torres of Beaumont CHP provided these details. The accident occurred
around 10:045 a.m. on Sunday, September 15, when a blue 2020 Jeep
Wrangler, driven northbound by a 55-year-old female from Winchester,
crossed into the southbound lane. The Jeep struck two motorcyclists, a
44 year old male from Indio riding a 2015 Kawasaki, and 28 year-old male
from Cathedral City on a 2022 Aprilia. The rider on the Kawasaki
sustained major injuries, the other minor. Both were transported to
local hospitals. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to have been
involved.
